Response To E. Cummings Next To Of Course God
I wrote a response to E.E. Cummings’ poem “Next to of Course God” as I felt during this time period in America, it is entirely relevant. The poem embodies a politician who does not have a decent head on his shoulders and bumbles on like most politicians do, accomplishing nothing. I challenged this by writing a very spirited, very motivated poem from the eyes of a citizen who is ready for change. I wrote this challenging these politicians who we see so very often, especially during the election cycle. By using short, easy phrases I embodied a chant. This is because I feel that politically, many who oppose politicians are rioting and chanting at said events. This is also why I did not use any punctuation such as periods. The only time

But the laws and regulations will help to pursue those that are crooked and punished them properly. Even those who are honest will sometimes manipulate data to get their reports to add up to what they should be. A more effective form of dealing with the issue of inaccurate data by mistake may need to be addressed.

    For this week’s post the poem I focused on is “Next to of course God America I” written by E. E. Cummings. E. E. Cumming is becoming my new favorite poet, I like his use of words both stylistically and for meaning, the way he makes them play together. This poem is not very forth coming with the 5w’. It’s only after reading it multiple times and looking up definitions that you start to have a slight sense of what is being illustrated. The poem is written in a way that it can carry multiple interpretations, and scenarios that make sense.…

    Bradstreet began her poem out with immense sorrow at the burning of her home. The poem then turned to scorn for herself as she realized how dependent she had become on her possessions. However, the poem ends on a joyful note as she remembers her faith and turns back to God. Taylor’s poem did not change tone as drastically as Bradstreet’s yet he still gives a sense of humility in asking for God to use him and joy in the idea that his life is part of something much greater than himself.…

    I remember when I first experienced goosebumps raise on my arms and send a shiver through my body, simply because the words leaving the speaker's lips left such an imprint on me. I didn’t think that a simple sentence could bring tears to my eyes, could cause me to react in any physical way. I didn’t even know the author. Yet, it still amazes me anytime I react to such a poem. The emotions that the author pours into every word and every syllable is astounding. Each pause and breath tell a story on their own. I knew that I had to try. I wanted to make people feel the way like I did when I first heard them, but because it was my words that made them react.…

    Whitman’s free verse poem “I hear America Singing” expresses the joy and pride he feels towards personal identity. The speaker uses “singing”(1) repeatedly to describe the “varied carols”(1) or the sounds of various people working in their professions in a positive connotation to indicate his joy. The speaker’s diction of portraying the sounds as “singing” and “carols” are commonly associated with a festive atmosphere indicating joyfulness. In addition, the narrator states that the work they do “belongs to him or her and none else”(9). His message is that each individual has a unique role only they can fulfill and individuality is something to take pride in. The poem’s conclusion of “strong melodious song”(11) represents both his joy and pride…

    Both Walt Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson believed strongly in originality and personal expression;although the different tactics that they used to get their message across were nothing short of contrasting.In Emerson’s case, he was vehemently opposed to a society that he saw to be oppressive and unimaginative. Emerson was convinced that all of modern human civilization was in collaboration to crush his uniqueness and subjugate him to a life of a faceless cog. “Society is in conspiracy against the manhood of everyone of its members.” (P. 153) Conversely, Whitman regarded the common man with much esteem and favoritism. In his epic poem, “Song of Myself” Whitman spoke of the working class with an unusual favoring and support of their ways and lifestyle. “The sun falls on the crisply hair and mustache, falls on the black of his polish’d and perfect limbs, and I behold the picturesque giant and love him.” (P.173) Whitman encouraged the reader to lead an original and unconfirmed life. He celebrated the common man and tells the reader to be happy with their life and social stature.…
